[@anujsoni2429]

My biggest prob was to stand after float without support. I tend to sink a bit when I finish the swim. I was unable to stand without support. I will try this.. Thanks a lot

[@nikki466]

Same here,have you overcome that now?

[@anujsoni2429]

@@nikki466 Ya. Initially I tried to float using kick board and practiced of standing by pulling legs and hands towards d belly. Now I can do it without kick board too.

After three months of learning always with a floater I watched your video and in todays session I swam the entire time with no floats. Short distances then standing. Its liberating

The coach just says float float float but my legs always sink , they don't even rise to the water level . Kindly help me with some advice to how to float. I've seen this video . But I don't think I understand how exactly are you able to let your lower body float. Please help.

[@tanyapunyo2074]

How to float if water is deeper than your height

[@pappykwabee5296]

Please when you get head under the water to float do you breath a little out through your nose or mouth to form bubbles or you completely stop breathing .thank you

[@simranbhatia6755]

You never completely stop breathing...because if you stop breathing CO2 will build up in your lungs and it will cause pressure on your heart
It's okay to hold your breath for a few seconds but ultimately you have to exhale through your nose while under water.

Mam why my leg go down when i try to do float

[@diogovelho4625]

Usually if you are thin your bone density will be alot you will have to do a light flutter kick to keep your legs up

[@jaideep9608]
